Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your Divine Lotus feet. All Glories to your auspicious Appearance Day.
I don’t deserve to make an offering to you Guru Mahārāja, yet you are giving me an opportunity. It’s been 4 years I’m being into ISKCON, connected to Vaishnavis Forum Hyderabad, getting cultivated under the guidance of His Grace Varada Kṛṣṇa Dasa Prabuji and Bhakti Yoga Trainer, one of your disciples Her Grace Kavipriya Śyāma Devī Dāsī Mātājī.
I know you as a disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda before, but we had an online visit for Vaiṣṇavīs Forum Bangalore HBR Layout and Hyderabad, Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabhuji glorified the pastimes of yours, which was the first time I heard something extraordinary about you for the first time. Till then I didn’t know much about you Guru Mahārāja, but from then I was connected to your very intimately that whenever I hear your name, your pastimes, glories tears flow out of my eyes and want to hear even more.
From the very beginning Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabhuji’s classes are very interesting, we always eagerly wait for the sessions the main thing I always used to get attracted from Prabuji’s class was your extraordinary glories. I used to get scared when Kavipriya Mātājī used to tell that we have to preach in future, that will I be able to do, but once Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabuji told that you love & have a very special place for preaching, taking responsibilities, those went deep into my heart, day by day I get more interest to preach and now I am helping Kavipriya mātājī in preaching in online, also through Social media. Every time whenever I listen to your pastimes my respect towards you increases, I always want to do something or the other to you, in each and every pastime as Kṛṣṇa reciprocates in a unique way, your pastimes turn in unique, lovely, amazing, shocking, unexpected way.
Sometimes I escape from my duties with silly reasons like cold, but you have been serving your Guru in whatever state you are in, seeing you we get motivated to serve you more and more. I have never thought that I would be able to take your direct darśana, since I’m studying still, my parents wouldn’t allow to send me, I always prayed to you, Śrīla Prabhupāda and deities. You heard my prayers and gave this fallen soul the chance to this eyes have you divine darśana and blessings on Janmāṣṭamī 2022. Whenever I pray, tell you my problems I get an immediate answer in any of the way Guru Dev.
Last year, just before Damodar Month, Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabhuji gave his association to us in temple, after meeting you. That day Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabhuji’s eyes were floating in tears, speech was crooking telling about your health condition, seeing that we couldn’t make our eyes stop tearing, we are praying, chanting, preaching, reading books putting ourselves onto your lotus feet. I’m becoming very greedy day by day to serve you Guru Mahārāja, we want to pray more and more so that we could give us chance to engage in your divine Appearance Days.
I’m not eligible to take Lords name, your divine name, mercy, called as your disciple or think for it, Guru Mahārāja, all are happening only because you are praying for me, with your causeless mercy. I don’t want myself to be identified else then “servant/disciple of Jayapatākā Swami”.
Eternally live my Guru Mahārāja, His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami.
Yours,
Aspiring Servant
